The highly anticipated, Team Associated SC10 4×4 Kit short course truck has finally been unveiled and unlike anything we've seen in a short course truck before. The Associated SC10 4WD kit is not based on any previous Team Associated chassis but instead a new platform was designed just for the SC10 4WD kit!
Associated designed the SC10 4×4 around a lightweight, low-drag belt driven system. The belt is thick and durable (5mm wide with 211 teeth). Due to the layout, the belt drives the front drivetrain only, while a standard 3-gear gearbox drives the rear end. The belt drive works and delivers explosive acceleration and yields a compact chassis layout, and reduced drivetrain friction. The belt also allows it to use 32-pitch gears with large teeth.
Associated designed the Team Associated SC10 4×4 from the ground up to handle abuse. Thick suspension arms, heavy-duty rod ends, 3mm hingepins, and large 32-pitch gears make fore a heavy duty platform. The inner camber-link ball studs pass through the shock tower mounts and thread into metal inserts below.
Only two screw heads are visible on the underside of the Team Associated SC10 4×4 chassis, and all of the components mount to the top of the chassis. Team Associated calls its new three-piece molded tub chassis a “low CG and low polar moment design.” As the chassis pieces wear, you can replace each section individually. When assembled, the chassis forms a near glass-smooth bottom surface that will glide over ruts and bumps.
